Like many others here, I felt heartbroken at the tragedy and the senseless loss of three such talented and caring young people. I wanted to find some way to honor their memory and after reading about some of their volunteer charity activities in this article http://www.northraleighnews.com/2015/02/12/4550456/slain-students-remembered-fondly.html I made a donation to the United Muslim Relief organization. (I am not a Muslim, in fact I was raised as a Southern Baptist and now attend a United Methodist church). If any DUers want to do the same, they could do so at this website:
http://www.umrelief.org/umr-mourns-loss-of-dedicated-volunteers/
They also volunteered providing free dental services to the local homeless community through North Carolina Missions of Mercy, which accepts donations on this website: http://ncmom.info/
(Both of these organizations are 501(c) (3) charities and donations are tax deductible.)

1. I just edited my OP to add the part about donating to the headline

to give a better idea of the content , since it didn't get many views initially.

2. That is a very befitting way to memorialize those young people

like so many, I am so sickened by their murders
